Something About Dolls.

Dolls are by no means modern in
vention. Dolls of baked clay, of wood,
and of other things, have been found in
Egypt, in tombs, where they have lain
buried since before the time of Christ.
Dolls are now much more carefully
made than they were in former times,
and great deal of skill is needed in
their manufacture. In the little town
of Sonneberg, in Germany, hundreds
of thousands of dolls are manufactured
every year. Most of the dolls are made
out of papier mache, but many fine
ones are made with wax or china heads.
All dolls of the same size which have
like faces are made in one mold, and
there have to be as many molds as
there are different kinds of faces. 1t
takes thirty or forty persons to make a
single doll, as each workman does only
one thing.
In Japan, children have every year
what is called feast of dolls" This
is held only on one day of the year, at
which time all the dolls that have be-
longed to the family are brought out
from the safe places where they are
usually kept, and put upon tables with
many k nds OF playthings. Sometimes
there are more than hundred dolls,
some of which are dark with age, for
often dolls two hundred years old are
shown at this feast. They are dressed
in oil sorts of ways, some like court la
dies and gentlemen, and some like COM
mon ladies and gentlemen. Some of
these dolls are very small, and some
are as large as little girl. The feast
of dolls lasts only one day, yet the toys
are shown Tor many days.
Dolls used by Last Indian children
are very different from any in this
country. They are made of wood
painted with different colors. Each
doll has baby in its arms, and is fixed
to wooden block so that it can stand
up. The clothes are only painted ones,
its arms are not jointed, and the only
thing that can be taken off is the head,
which is fastened into the body with q
peg. Common wooden jointed dolls
are made mostly in Germany by poor
people, who white them out by hand.

French Fashions Years Ago.

1t appears that the rage for gaudy
finery which nowadays is the curse OF
the middle and lower classes IS one OF
the outcomes of the present century to
which the fashions of times past form
a striking contrast. This is well set
forth in work on lies Bourgeois
d'Autrefois, by NJ. A. Babeau, in which
the author describes at great length
the fashions Of the middle classes. In
the seventeenth century, he says,
scholars were easily recognized by their
dress, which differed from that of the
merchant and nobleman. People of
the lower middle classes had, as rule,
three suits of clothes-one for winter,
another for summer, and a third for
mourning. The different suits were
put on at certain date each year; their
summer garments were worn from May
II to the end of October, and the rest
of the year winter dress was worn.
Mourning was always worn for several
years. Every suit was first worn on
one side, then turned, and finally it was
cut up for ga ments for children. The
sword, originally only worn by mobiles,
was soon assumed by the middle
classes, in many places, unfortunately,
not as an ornament, but as q necessary
weapon. On the whole, the middle
classes were very modest in their APP
parel, with the one exception that their
wigs were very expensive. The couture
of women was mostly more sensible
than that of men. At the time of Nine.
de Sevigne and Nine. Pompadour no
| high chignons were worn by the women
of the people, but the hair was simply
arranged under caps, bows, or hoods.
The colors mostly worn by these classes
were brown and gray, and even shortly
before the revolution no woman from
the provinces dared to wear white rib
bons, and even colored ones were
looked upon as eccentric. AT the age
of 45 the woman assumed a matronly
dress, avoiding light colors and a
youthful cut to her dress. AS q char
acteristic of the last two centuries M.
Babeau points out that mems dress
was much more costly than women's,
and that, contrary to our present sys-
TEN, the wealth of family was dis
played in the husbands or fathers APP

MISCELLANEOUS.

The President said TO q Washing
ton interviewer that he was shocked by the
news of Senator Logan's death. From his
own limited personal acquaintance with him
he had formed high opinion of him as
sincere, frank, and generous man, and his
loss would be very sensibly felt by
hosts of personal friends throughout
the country who had become attached
to him because of his qualities of
heart and by the people at large whom he had
served well as a Union soldier and in the
highest branch Of the National Legislature.
Senator Thurman, of Ohio, being interviewed
at his home in Columbus, said he had served
with Logan during his first term and second
term in the Senate, and had learned to appre-
ciate him as a soldier and friend, and admired
his splendid qualities in debate. The old Ro-
man continued:
John Logan was singularly above the petty
spites and malice Of politics. He was fair
antagonist, and fully abreast OF his party
upon all questions. / am grieved TO hear of
his death His place will be hard TO fill by the
RepubIicans of Illinois You ALWAYS knew
where to find John A. Logan. There was no
hypocrisy in his composition. He carried his
heart on his sleeve He was not so deeply
learned as some of his fellow-Senators,
but in debate his sledgehammer blows we're
more effective than those Of others whose soft
speech and high sounding phrases were their
stock in trade. His vote on the Payne resou-
ton was one of the grandest things in his life.
He thought he was right in the matter and
voted according 20 his convictions. That was
John Logans style. He did nothing 20 be in
fashion if his opinion dictated otherwise.

Farrell started him for the sidewalk at

for he would kill him if he did. Yesterday

Eastern Visitors.

One of Raymond & Whitcomb's excur-

city last evening. On their arrival at the
depot they were met by the Mayor and a
delegation of citizens, who took them in
charge, showed them around the city and
made their brief stay in Sacramento as
pleasant as possible. The courtesies ex-
tended were unexpected and highly appre-
ciated by the Eastern people, who awaited
themselves of the generous hospitality of
fered, were loud in their expressions
of satisfaction, and said such treatment
at the hands of strangers was to them
a most agreeable innovation to the squeeze

calities visited, where the only apparent
object was to size 'em u up for all they
could get out of them. r. S. Carey, under
direction of the committee, had a sufficient
number of street cars at the depot to carry
all OF the visitors to the State Capitol, where
they were treated to an open-air concert on
the Capitol grounds, such as are only given
in this city. The building was illuminated
throughout, the State offices all open to
visitors, the library used as a reception
room, and Colonel McNasser Mayor Greg
DRY, j. o. Coleman, and others of the COM
mittee, assisted by number of Sacramento
ladies, gave the Eastern people specimen
of how Californians can entertain. The
visitors were disarmed of all reserve felt
at home with our people, and expressed
many regret that their stay in Sacramento
could not be protracted. When they come
west again Sacramento, they say, will be

was furnished by the Hussar Band, George
